Open "Python Console ..." in the "Tools" menu.

Or just open a terminal window and type "python" there.

BTW, I find it hard to believe that PyCharm for the Mac "comes with"
Python 2.6. Python 2.6 is quite old. The Linux version isn't bundled
with a python interpreter and just uses whatever is already installed on
the machine. I guess it's the same for the Mac: Your version of MacOS
happens to include Python 2.6, so this is what PyCharm uses.

Oh, and ask your professor if you are really supposed to use Python 2.6.
There are differences between versions (especially between 2.x and 3.x)
and you'll be hopelessly confused if you use 2.6 and your professor's
examples are written for 3.5.
